Watch Major League Baseball on PS3! MLB.TV App Live Today

Hi Everyone – I’m excited to show everyone the new MLB.TV application for the PS3 that will be available from PlayStation Network, in both U.S. and Canada, later today. This app allows MLB.TV subscribers to watch every regular season game live in HD (local blackout restrictions do apply), with tons of new interactive features designed exclusively for PSN.

Some of the unique interactive features that we show in the demo include:

MLB Scoreboard – See a schedule of today’s games (and set options to control whether or not you see the scores)

Home and Away Feeds – Choose to watch either the home or away broadcast feed

HD quality video and DVR functionality – watch a live game in HD (with Live Game DVR functionality that lets you pause and rewind live games of fast-forward back to live game action)

Season Archive – Want to re-live a great moment? Go back and watch games you’ve missed from earlier in the season.

Scrollable Linescore – Go directly to any half-inning to watch only that portion of the game.

Favorite Teams/Calendar Schedule – Scroll through the entire 2010 Major League Baseball schedule in calendar format or designate your favorite team(s) to see the schedule for that team.

You can now download the app from the “Media” category on PlayStation Store, and launch it from the Video section of the XMB.

You must be an MLB.TV subscriber to fully utilize this app (some features, such as the calendar schedule, are available to everyone for free). There are two annual packages: MLB.TV is $99.95 and MLB.TV Premium is $119.95. If you aren’t already a MLB.TV subscriber, you can go to ps3.com/mlbtv to sign up. Once you’ve subscribed, link your MLB.TV subscription to a PS3 (via the app), and enjoy the season!

This is truly the ultimate baseball viewing experience from MLB.TV and PlayStation Network. Enjoy!

Lol – Are they serious? $119 for baseball what a joke! It’s free on tv for regular season added $24 for Dish w/200 other channels. Heck, NBA, Hockey, Soccer and Football has higher ranking than baseball and season tickets with Dish and DTV is still far cheaper and better because as I said you still get tons of other programing with it and internet is not required to see it. This baseball stuff should actually be for free… Don’t know about you guys but they give away free unlimited tickets to the Detroit Tigers at McDonald’s weekly.

I really agree about the World Cup App… I would absolutely pay for something like that. The NBA App idea would be cool too, but since the playoffs have already gotten underway, by the time they got one out it’d probably be too late.

The price is a bit high for something like the NBA, NFL, or MLB because there is only one organization. But for the soccer app, it would be a reasonable price considering how many leagues you have: MLS, UEFA, Italian Leagues, etc.- so if we got all of those then I could easily see myself paying this price.

Either way, this seems very well put together and it looks like it came together quite well. Nicely done Sony!!! Keep up the great work!

Can we please have the best most influential sport(Fact not Opinion) next. Football(or Soccer here) is the only sport that has managed to stop a civil war in order to watch their team participate in the World Cup. Warring factions came together around one TV in order to watch the game. Football(Soccer) is the only sport capable of doing this. We need this on Playstation for Football(Soccer)!!

This is maybe one of the best (network) ideas you guys at playstation have had in what a year? Keep it up and maybe we’ll begin to forget about the last updates.

hrm…you might have just made the mlb some extra money i’ve been on the fence about getting the subscription and one of the biggest reasons against me getting it is that i can’t watch my cubbies on my nice hdtv.
